  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.
  • We hope the site problems here are now solved, however, if you still have any issues, please start a ticket in Contact Us

    Ding! Dong!

    Ding! Dong! Who's that ringing my doorbell? That ding-dong-dinging's hard to ignore. Better get out of my shell. Have they got nice stuff to sell? Or are they collecting for the poor? Who's that ringing my doorbell? Someone with a tale to tell? Or my needy neighbour needing more? Better get...

    W.S. Merwin has died

    The Test of Time

    An Original Work / December 18, 2018 “If time was on our side, There would be no cause to hurry. Whatever we’ve been putting off, Would no more be a worry. “We could dawdle all we want, And take our good old time, And just relax, and have some fun, And bathe ourselves in life sublime.” But...

    It's Christmastime

    An Original Work / December 2, 2018 It’s Christmastime all over the world, But what does that mean exactly? Shopping and presents and idols galore? Never yet satisfied. Always want more? Busily, hurriedly, racing for time? Gotta have this gift, and nothing to find? Santa and reindeer now fly...

    Writing a Song - Need Help of a Native Spanish Speaker

    So I write music with Christian content often and I've always wanted to do one in another language. I studied linguistics, so I know how important it is for people to hear things in their own tongues. I'm trying to translate one of my songs into Spanish, but I'm not confident about what really...

    God, I need You so much!

    A poem to Lord Jesus. I just needed to pour my heart out and express myself. :) "Redeemed Forever" (Thank you, Dave G. for this awesome title) Jesus, I have been so unfaithful to You, Sometimes I can do nothing but sin, Yet You call my name and lead me back, Though I don't deserve it, not even...
